Christian views on the Old Covenant
The Mosaic covenant or Law of Moses, which Christians generally call the Old Covenant, in contrast to the New Covenant, has played an important role in the shaping of Christianity and been the source of serious dispute and controversy since its inception, such as Jesus' critique of the Law during his Sermon on the Mount, the circumcision controversy in early Christianity, and the Incident at Antioch which has led scholars to dispute the relationship between Paul of Tarsus and Judaism.Rabbinic Judaism asserts that the Jewish religious laws were presented to the Jewish people and do not apply to gentiles, including Christians, with the exception of the Seven Laws of Noah, which apply to all people.Many Christians believe that only parts are applicable, others believe that none are applicable, dual-covenant theologians believe that it remains valid only for Jews, and a minority have the view that all are still applicable to believers in Jesus and the New Covenant.
